Sesame Noodle Chicken Salad
"This is a wonderful, easy Asian meal. It calls for vermicelli, but I use corn spaghetti due to dietary needs. Really any kind of pasta works! This can be served hot or cold."

Hubby and I thought this was pretty good. I used vermicelli, but in the future I think I would use something else, maybe rice noodles or spaghetti noodles, broken in half. We just did not care for the vermicelli. We ate it hot because we didn't want to wait for it to chill, and I saved the leftovers to eat cold. This was an easy & quick recipe, thanks for posting it. -
This was incredible, Shire Born! The flavors were perfect, we have a gluten issue so we used brown rice spaghetti noodles. This is as good as something we can pay $$$ for at Pei Wei. Most of the ingredients are pantry staples. I'll double it next time, we ate it all in one sitting. -
This is a good salad we enjoyed cold, but I was hesitant about using the cilantro with all the Asian flavors. Wanting to stick to the recipe, I did use it, but only half the suggested amount and we tasted such a strong cilantro flavor that overpowered a bit, so next time I would leave it out completely as a personal choice. Thanks for sharing your recipe :) Made for PAC Fall 09

As my name suggests, I am a part-time hobbit, escaping to my quiet life in the Shire whenever I can.
In reality, I am a busy student who uses cooking as therapy. I am severely gluten intolerant and mildly dairy intolerant, so most of the recipes I post/comment on will be compatible with my dietary restrictions. Still, I love to eat, and have learned that you don't have to sacrifice flavor and personality when you go gluten and dairy free. I tend to like recipes that are either real homey comfort food, or transport me to the places I've travelled to, or would like to someday visit.
I believe in eating organic, ethically raised meat and vegetables. I like to stay as close to nature as possible, eating mostly whole
foods.
